filepicker in elements IN a list does not work

[HiddenType]

While nesting a filepicker (or pagemediaselect) in elements OR list is possible, nesting them in elements IN a list is not. A warning message «Not found» appears in the top right corner. (Tested in Grav v1.7.33 w/ Admin v1.10.33.1)

I've hit this wall just now. I'm attempting to build a similar blueprint with a List > Elements > Element > Filepicker. The error also occurs without the list and just a filepicker field in an elements field.

I'm going to assume if this issue is still open 2.5 years later that there is not a working solution to this setup?

If anyone is still looking for an answer, I think I just found one.

The declaration of the field path of the element must be done “absolutely” and not “relatively” from the parent field. Please note that the absolute/relative namind is more of a reflexion of mine than an absolute truth;

This is working :white_check_mark: because the field path is absolute

header.is_archive.type:
  type: elements
  label: Mode archive
  default: false
  options:
    non: Non
    oui: Oui
  fields:
    oui:
      type: element
      fields:
        header.is_archive.oui.background_image: # Here we are passing the complete path of the field
          type: filepicker
          folder: 'self@'
          preview_images: true
          label: Image de fond
          on_demand: true

this is not working ❌ the field path is relative to the parent field

header.is_archive.type:
  type: elements
  label: Mode archive
  default: false
  options:
    non: Non
    oui: Oui
  fields:
    oui:
      type: element
      fields:
        .background_image: # the path of the field is declared "relatively" to the parent field
          type: filepicker
          folder: 'self@'
          preview_images: true
          label: Image de fond
          on_demand: true

With the working version the stored data looks like this:

is_archive:
    type: oui
    oui:
